Key verses

Who wrote it

The book says that Moses wrote some of its parts at YHWH’s command (17:14; 24:4; 34:27). Jewish and Christian tradition attributes the whole book to him. Authorship is debated.

When it was written

Debated. 1 Kings 6:1 places the exodus 480 years before Solomon’s temple, around 1446 BC; others, in the 13th century BC.

For whom, and in what situation

The Israelites who came out of Egypt and received the covenant at Sinai, and the generations after them, who would keep the Passover to remember that exodus (12:14, 26–27).
